Exigen Services Publishes White Paper Outlining Next-Generation Outsourcing Engagement Model

July 28, 2008

The white paper, titled “Unlimited Change for A Fixed Price: the Next Generation of Outsourcing Contracts,” provides the framework for establishing a truly collaborative model that further aligns IT and the business with their outsourcing provider. Download the paper here: www.flex-agility.com.

Through this model, called Flex-agilitysm, changes can be introduced during any project without impacting the original schedule or budget. Drastically reducing the traditional source of significant cost overruns, delayed deployment, and unanticipated change, Flex-agility’s use of Agile methods cuts the financial risks associated with large IT projects by treating the cause of the risk, not simply applying off-shore manpower.

“The combination of fixed price commercial terms and Agile methodologies in an offshore outsourcing engagement is unique, overcoming one of the historic critiques of Agile’s use,” says Jeff Sutherland, CTO of PatientKeeper and co-creator of the SCRUM Agile methodology. “Companies who want to leverage the power of Agile development but have concerns about its effectiveness in an offshore model will find this white paper a valuable resource. Exigen Services has created a breakthrough for the practical adoption of the methodology.”

“The pressures enterprises face today are incredible, both from a technology delivery and complexity standpoint. The business environment has shifted so rapidly that traditional outsourcing models simply can’t keep up with market demands,” said Alec Miloslavsky, CEO, Exigen Services. “We believe innovation shouldn’t be limited to technology, that our role in the market is to create business conditions for customers that enable them to achieve their technology goals. Our belief is that Flex-agility provides such a platform.”

Flex-agility is a packaged services offering that combines industry-leading Agile methodologies with innovative customer-aligned governance and fixed-priced commercial terms. For a free copy of the Flex-agility white paper, visit www.flex-agility.com.
